  • Argentina president accused of fraud over crypto crash

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'll throw my voice into the downvote chain and say you're absolutely right. Saying crypto is tied to Moore's law is hot garbage. I really, really don't want to defend crypto here since 98% of its use now is for scamming people, but there are a lot of clever consensus algorithms now that escape scalability issues. Computational waste is still a problem across the board, but that trend is shrinking in some of the newer coins, not growing.

    Like I said, I wouldn't touch crypto with a ten-foot pole, but everything you said here is completely correct, right down to the co-optation of what started as a set of impressive enthusiast projects.

  • Ukraine and Europe reduced to bit players in US-Russian plan for peace

    Jump

  • Wtf are we even doing there? Even if we're trying to sell out Ukraine, I don't see much happening without Ukraine at the table. The motivators are going to be sticks and carrots. The best carrot I can see the US getting Ukraine is peace or ceasefire alongside the cessation of some of their land. But that ignores that Russia broached peace agreements twice in this mess. So it's not possible to trust anything Russia offers (kudos on that 4D chess, Putin, you pathetic slobdog).

    That leaves leaning on the rest of Europe and continuing the resistance as the only viable option. Unless we give them sticks, which would be insane and fully exile the US as a pariah state from the rest of the free world. It would kill trade and drop us into an instant depression. Which they might think they're fine with, but that's quite a shortcut to the guillotine.

  • ICE wants to know if you’re posting negative things about it online

  • I am. Eat shit.

  • What a damning question-dodge

  • Teen on Musk’s DOGE Team Graduated from ‘The Com’ – Krebs on Security

    Jump

  • The founder of Path is a young man named Marshal Webb. I wrote about Webb back in 2016, in a story about a DDoS defense company he co-founded called BackConnect Security LLC. On September 20, 2016, KrebsOnSecurity published data showing that the company had a history of hijacking Internet address space that belonged to others.

    Less than 24 hours after that story ran, KrebsOnSecurity.com was hit with the biggest DDoS attack the Internet had ever seen at the time. That sustained attack kept this site offline for nearly 4 days.

    Fuckin' yikes. Some serious skeletons clearly visible for everyone to see if that's the echo to the call.

    Edit: <Redacting this edit so as to not spread misinfo, a website I thought was down is, in fact, still up, just sans www. subdomain>

    Double edit: spare a buck for Internet Archive if you can, y'all, we need this shit if we're going to hold civilization together.

  • North Carolina Judge Rejects GOP State Supreme Court Candidate’s Bid To Throw Out 60K Ballots

    Jump

  • Today’s ruling is likely to be appealed by Griffin, first to the state court of appeals, and then ultimately to the state Supreme Court, which dismissed an earlier petition from the GOP candidate as premature.

    Shit's exhausting. Not that we should let ourselves actually get numb or exhausted from it, but you really have to admire their lack of scruples and complete dearth of any moral character.

  • DOGE employee

    Jump

  • Haha considering just how much irrelevant third-party training data you'd be looping into a format conversion, this metaphor really is spot-on.

  • Thank you AI, very cool

    Jump

  • It's brave individuals like yourself who are doing the lord's work 🫡

  • Thank you AI, very cool

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm actually kinda curious to see what it would do, since the command is pretty nonsensical. Probably just an immediate failure along the lines of "/ is a directory"?

  • Open-source Deepseek R1 dethrones commercial AI, now allegedly being hit by cyberattack

    Jump

  • Fair, but even if it is commercial, the project being open-source is a huge step in the right direction. Specifically for DeepSeek, it has a number of censored topics like "Tiananmen Square" that it refuses to speak to, but because it's open source, unaffiliated third parties have been able to start spins of it that reintegrate said sensitive topics.

    Perfect? Definitely no, but I'd say it's almost 50% of the way there compared to the awful nature of ChatGPT/Google's models. And it also made people realize that this is possible, so there'll be more people taking it in a good direction that otherwise might not've tried.

  • I too cried like that at first.

    You're really throwing out every dishonest rhetorical tactic in the book. Reading this exchange is disgusting.

  • Aww, probably Hannah. As much as I would want to be surly or jealous of someone else finding their person, I could use some positivity in my life.

  • Yeah, this meme is a complete whiff, just seems edgy/hipster-y while ignoring the fact that nobody really cares because GNOME is a great DE.

  • Unfortunately you're probably right. Anything even remotely connected to politics has gotten so cult-like that "nuh uh" has become a valid defense for most.
